Astronaut Don Pettit Shares Stunning Space Images Of Maha Kumbh Mela

On Sunday, astronaut Don Pettit captured the Maha Kumbh Mela, the world’s largest religious gathering, from space, with captivating images shared on X showing the illuminated banks of the Ganga, reflecting the vibrancy of this monumental event.

The photos, taken from the International Space Station (ISS), highlight the spectacular scale and radiance of the Maha Kumbh Mela, which draws millions of devotees to the sacred Ganga for spiritual solace.

The space-shot images emphasize the grandness of the gathering, leaving viewers in awe.

Regarded as the most significant religious event globally, the Maha Kumbh Mela saw over 13 crore devotees converge at the Sangam for this sacred occasion.

The images from space will likely attract even more global attention to the 2025 Maha Kumbh.

Sharing his awe-inspiring views, Don Pettit however remarked on the brilliance of the Maha Kumbh Mela from the ISS, noting the immense scale of the world’s largest human gathering along the Ganga’s banks.

Pettit, an American astronaut and chemical engineer known for his contributions to space exploration and astrophotography, has spent 555 days aboard the ISS.

At 69, he serves as NASA’s oldest active astronaut and holds the credit for inventing the ‘Zero-G Cup,’ the first object patented in space.
